meeting surgeon in 2 weeks

After 5 1/2 months of monitored dieting i finally have my appointment with the surgeon.  Both the Dietician and psychologist believe the RNY is best.  I started the program leaning towards the Lap Band, but am keeping my mind open to either procedure.  Did anyone else start the program with one procedure in mind and then switch to another?

I started the journey intending to have the Lap Band, changed my mind and decided on VSG, ended up having RNY and couldn't be happier!  LOL

I actually switched not only surgery choice but surgeon as well....my original surgeon didn't perform the DS and after researching it, I KNEW I wanted the DS sooo...lucky us in MN we have a pioneer of the DS surgery right here!  I went to his seminar and never looked back...

be sure you consult a surgeon who does ALL the surgical options...there are more than 2 - there are 4 main ones - RNY, VSG, LapBand and my beloved DS!

Check out DS Facts <--- link!
and visit us on the DS board for more information about the DS

I also recommend visiting all the surgical forums (each option has their own board) and the WLS Regrets forum and the Revision forum....

research is KEY!

GOOD LUCK!
